iMate PDAL: Fairly standard Windows Mobile Smartphone
By Wilson • Mar 18th, 2009 • Category: i-MateThe iMate PDAL has been placed quite well in the league of successes. Company would include the SP range and the Jam/Kjam. The design is so spectacular that mobile operators like Orange have started buttoning up designs for themselves. The PDAL excels in following steps set by the SP5 which was tested a year back. It is a quad band smartphone that runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 and has a 200Mhz processor. It does not support 3G technology but is capable of handling GPRS apart from housing a 802.11b/g wireless LAN. The build quality is fantastic and the RF performance deserves applause. The MP3 player rocks especially with stereo sound. The Micro SD card attached in it is a bonus.
It also has the potential to handle WEP as well as WPA2 courtesy its small screen that looks perfectly fitted. The 2.4” touch screen and stylus module gives it a corporate look. The battery is pretty strong and will make the phone survive for long hours. The information that comes in the manual will help the user understand the phone in a much uncomplicated manner. The PIM functionality when combined with the WiFi helps in opening multiple applications at a time. The in-built memory is 64MB and the battery life is touted to go on for 4 days at a stretch. It is as high end as the BlackBerry 8100 Pearl and just as user friendly as Nokia smartphones like the E71. So just in case you end up buying it, you will get full value for money.
